Louisiana Creole/African American
Hey. Last time posted here was 3 years or 4 years ago. I lost access to my old Reddit account. I'm from New Orleans. I'm Louisiana Creole, African American and have Jamaican ancestry. In my 2020 results up until last year's update, I had 1% Indigenous Mexico. On my 23AndMe I have 2.8% Indigenous from South Central United States which is in alignment with my family being descendants of the Choctaw and Houma people.
My paternal side has roots in the German Coast, Terrebonne Parish and surrounding areas and Mississippi. My maternal side has roots in New Orleans, Louisiana -Mississippi border areas and Mississippi as well.
I've also been able to trace my tree in some parts to Virginia too, as that's where my African American lineages are from.
I descend from many slave holding families and plantation owners. It's pretty crazy how much information I found over the last 4 years.
Oh and fun fact: I am indeed a cousin of Marie Laveau and Justin Trudeau. And that's still wild to me.
